Pastor Ibidun Ighodalo is a former beauty queen who became a renowned entrepreneur with Elizabeth R, a leading events management company established in 2003 with the goal to create exceptional events as opposed to the everyday ordinary. More than a decade, the outfit had become so reputable for delivering indelible events and experiences that it had worked for several state governments, top Nigerian banks, and other companies   . The mother of one and former Miss Lux has pulled off the impossible feat. Having burst to the scene with her victory at a beauty pageant, she is now also the queen of events management and décor in Nigeria

The company she founded fifteen years ago, Elizabeth R, has become the toast of the rich and high profile organizations. They are always queueing for a taste of her creative decorations at their events. A list of her big-time clients will reveal a roll call of Who’s Who in society. Whether it is organizing the venue for a religious programme or planning an electrifying ambience for the high profile wedding of moneybag politicians, the Ibidun touch is always unmistakable and much sought after.

The upscale events planning outfit Elizabeth R has over the years grown to become Ibidun’s pride and joy. There is never a dull moment at the Ikoyi office which is always a beehive of activities from dawn to dusk. So great is the company’s reputation for transforming ordinary events into exceptional ones that those who require their services now have to book well in advance.

And oiling the wheels of all this is Ibidun, the charming wife of Trinity House Church’s head pastor Ituah Ighodalo. Those who sneered at her efforts in the beginning, saying she would never amount to much beyond her looks, are now helping themselves to huge chunks of humble pie.

Just as she did not let the words of detractors pull her down in the beginning, Ibidun hasn’t allowed the well-deserved praise and thousands of five-star reviews get to her head either. The 3000-capacity Dorchester Event Hall in Lekki which she opened not too long ago is testament of her ambition to keep adding to her portfolio until Elizabeth R truly becomes the top company offering the complete package in events management solutions
